My grandfathers, uncles, and my Dad were coal miners in the western part of Virginia and southern West Virginia - hard, honest work for minimal pay. The women in our families worked equally as hard in raising children and keeping house - and making the most wonderful meals out of the simplest ingredients! I have learned from my own cooking experience that the best part of preparing something is in sharing it with others who enjoy it, too. That is the purpose behind this blog: not only to preserve our family recipes, but to share them with others who can use and enjoy them as much as we have. Thanks for stopping by! Cris

Impossible Buttermilk Pie

 

We made our pie with raisins.  It was great!

Shared by Nita Brothers (a recipe from her mother, Emily Capps)


There is no pie crust. This custard-style pie that makes it's own "crust".

This is a sweet pie.  You can use only 1 to 1 1/4 cups of sugar or non-sweetner substitute (see below).


Ingredients:

1 ½ cups of sugar * SEE NOTES BELOW

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup Bisquick

1/3 cup margarine (melted)

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 eggs


Directions:

1. Grease pie pan or baking dish.

2. In large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together just until blended.

3. Pour into pie pan or baking dish.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes (clean knife inserted into the center of the pie should come out clean).

5, Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.


VARIATIONS:

1. *  You can substitute the sugar for equal amounts of Equal or Splenda.

2. Before baking, sprinkle ½ cup of raisins all over the top of the mixture.  They will sink in and bake into the pie.  

* The raisins add a bit more sweetness to the mixture so you can use  just 1 1/4 cups of sugar (less if you want the pie to be less sweet).

3. Add 2/3 cup shredded coconut to mixture. 

* The coconut is usually sweet, so you can reduce the sugar to 1 cup. 

4. Before baking, sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon 

5.    Serve with or without whip topping.
